My symptoms have been tension like headaches, light sensitivity, mild dizziness, occasional eye pain in left eye, floaters in eyes, extra glare from lights at night. I also get an occasional "popping" sensation when I turn my head to the left in the back, right side of my neck.Almost like a tendon is getting caught on a bone or something. I have had no neck injuries or anything like that. I do lift moderate weights. Only other thing I can think of is I have recently gone through a couple months of severe anxiety, which can mess your body up quite a bit.

Ive been looking at cervical headaches and wondering maybe my anxiety knocked a disc loose or something? has anyone had a CH? or had these symptoms and found the cause?

Forgot to mention. Today I was driving and my neck got stiff out of no where. I was getting a tension headache like pain from the back of my head that crept all the way over to my forehead. Scary stuff... Worried it's something serious

You might have more than one condition. For the neck stiffness, it's probably something wrong with your cervical spine (C1 to C7). Physical therapy can definitely help. Popping is not a good sign, it means your muscle is so rigid and lack of fluids inside. Cervical Dystonia can be caused by incorrect postures or disk degeneration. There are so many different types of headaches. If some arteries in your cervical spine is blocking the blood flow, it can cause headaches too. Neck stiffness is not necessarily related to anxiety.
